M-777 Howitzer

The Indian Army has deployed a sizeable number of upgraded L70 anti-aircraft guns in the high mountains along the Line of Actual Control in Arunachal Pradesh in addition to its existing M-777 howitzers and Swedish Bofors guns, officials said.

The first artillery gun imported by India in over three decades has been badly damaged after a shell manufactured by the Defence Ministry's Ordnance Factory Board (OFB) exploded.

For the first time in three decades, the Indian Army received two new artillery guns today. The M-777 ultra-light howitzer guns are part of Indias 145-gun order from the US for 700 million dollars.
